I would like to dedicate this episode to all the ROS developers out there who are thinking and worrying about the future of ROS. If you are worried about whether ROS will become irrelevant in the future or if all the companies building humanoid robots will replace ROS, then this episode is dedicated to you!

In this Podcast, we will delve into what the Open Source Robotics Alliance is.

Let me introduce you to Ryan Gariepy, who is the CTO of Clearpath Robotics and OTTO Motors. He is also the co-chair of the Canadian Robotics Council and a member of the Board of Directors of Open Robotics. Ryan is going to address all doubts regarding what the Open Source Robotics Alliance is.

Welcome to the podcast, Ryan!

I would like to dedicate this episode to all the ROS Developers who believe that ChatGPT or Compiler won't take our jobs but rather help us become more efficient and create better, faster, and more intelligent programs. If you share this perspective, this episode is dedicated to you!

In this episode, we will dive into Generative AI tools for robotics!

Now let’s go to the meat of the episode.

Let me introduce you Tomoya Fujita. We had Tomoya already on the podcast talking about Kubernetes for ROS. But today, he is going to talk about something different. Tomoya is a Software Architect/Engineer at Sony RDC US Lab. He is a ROS expert and a member of the ROS TSC committee. Today, he came to talk about his latest development ros2ai.

Welcome to the podcast, Tomoya!

I would like to dedicate this episode to all the ROS developers who want to use large-scale realistic robotic simulations. If you are thinking of working in that direction, this podcast episode is dedicated to you!

Today we are going to talk a lot about simulation and how to do it with open-source code.

Now let me introduce you, Adam Dabrowski. Adam is the VP of Robotics and Simulation at Robotec.ai where he and his team have developed the robotics part of Open 3D Engine, an alternative to do realistic large-scale simulations in ROS 

Welcome to the podcast Adam!
